Article Synopsis
- The Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is a serious condition that involves a specific type of vascular tumor and severe coagulopathy, leading to dangerously low platelet levels and increased bleeding risks.
- A case study of a neonate with both Kasabach-Merritt syndrome and VACTERL association (a group of congenital malformations) showed they are independent conditions, with the patient experiencing multiple developmental issues.
- Treatment with the mTOR-inhibitor sirolimus successfully reduced both the tumor size and the consumption of platelets, improving the challenging coagulation situation.

In these cases, flexible endoscopy can facilitate and prevent complications in minimally invasive procedures in children. The study aimed to clarify the utility of intraoperative endoscopy as an adjuvant to minimally invasive surgery in children.
